I agree with Ben. I recently tried to replace the battery on that same model and when doing so, I broke that connector. In the instruction it says something about 90 degrees. Forget that statement. Do the other part of that same instruction. Just use the small iPod tool and gently lift straight up. Very slightly, just enough to take the battery connector out. Good Luck.
